Abstract:
New Hill Community Association is the winner of a 2010 Indy Citizen Award for their positive contribution to society in the Triangle area. The association is fighting Western Wake Partners who want to put a wastewater treatment plant in the tiny, unincorporated, historically African-American town. Both black and white residents have joined forces to fight the project. The project would serve Cary, Apex, and Morrisville, but not New Hill and there are options to place the plant away from residents which are not being considered.

Abstract:
On July 1, 1992, North Carolina became the first state in the nation to implement a mandatory statewide on-site wastewater treatment system classification and maintenance program. The practice of relying on on-site systems is widespread because of the rural nature of the state. This article discusses the evolution of the maintenance program, and new requirements for sewage disposal and on-site wastewater treatment systems.

Abstract:
Recent revisions to rules governing the kinds and concentration of wastes industries may discharge to publicly owned treatment works are expected to have significant impacts on some industrial users in North Carolina, particularly in the larger metropolitan areas. New regulations will bring more industrial dischargers into pretreatment programs, and prohibit septage dumping into sewer lines.

Abstract:
Several major cities in North Carolina and the Water Resources Research Institute have formed a new cooperative research venture called the Urban Water Consortium. Toxic chemicals and nutrients in wastewaters from municipalities will be high-priority issues, and a variety of other problems in urban water management will also be investigated.

Abstract:
Several studies in North Carolina are exploring the use of wetlands to aid in the removal of nutrients in municipal wastewater. The results of the studies are expected to have important implications for managers who permit discharges from municipal wastewater treatment facilities and package treatment plants.

Abstract:
The North Carolina Environmental Management Commission voted in January to classify the lower Neuse River Basin as nutrient sensitive waters. This decision makes the reduction of phosphorus mandatory at the municipal and industrial wastewater treatment facilities. Specific nutrient management strategies have been developed for point and nonpoint source control of nutrients.

Abstract:
Many large coastal municipalities in the United States discharge treated wastewater directly into the ocean, but currently, these “ocean outfalls” are not used in North Carolina. Proposals to develop ocean outfalls in North Carolina are considering environmental impacts and other assessments to establish possible sites.

Abstract:
The North Carolina gave final approval on April 29 to a bill banning the sale and use of household phosphate detergents. Supporters of the ban believe it will help curb algae growth in nutrient-sensitive rivers and lakes by reducing the amount of phosphorus in wastewater discharges. The ban will also help to reduce operational costs at water treatment plants.

Abstract:
The elimination of federal funding for wastewater and water supply projects has increased the financial burden on state and local governments. North Carolina is searching for the least costly way of providing public water supplies which are critical not only to public health, but also to business and industry. This will require more groups to share the cost of protecting water quality.

Abstract:
A recent report published by the North Carolina Division of Environmental Management says that the 1987 phosphate detergent ban has achieved an average forty-eight-percent reduction in wastewater treatment plant effluent phosphorus concentrations. These results are based on twenty-three wastewater treatment plants across the state. The ban is preventing phosphorus from being discharged into the rivers of the state.
